Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the formation of a thread form in a substantially elongate member according to the preamble of claim 1. Further, the invention relates to an elongate member according to the preamble of claim 7.
- the present invention relates, in general terms, to a process for the formation of a thread in a substantially elongate member, as for example, a bar, a bolt or a tie rod. More particularly, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to a thread formed by a hot rolling procedure, which thread form has a coarse rib spacing but with a fine thread pitch.
- the process in accordance with the present invention therefore results in the production of a thread form which exhibits the mechanical advantages associated with thread formed with cold rolled thread forming procedures, yet the process itself exhibits the manufacturing efficiency associated with hot rolling thread forming procedures.
- Process and elongate member of the initially - mentioned types are known, for example, from DE-A-1 813 627.
- Thread rolling is a principal activity of bolt and nut manufacture. Most commonly, thread rolling is achieved by forcing at least two dies into a bar having a smooth surface and, by causing rotation of that bar with respect to the dies, metal is displaced to create a thread form on or in the bar itself.
- the dies employed in such procedures are typically made from hardened steel and have a suitable thread form machined into them such that, as they are forced into the bar, metal is displaced to create the desired thread form in the bar itself.
- the dies are typically either circular or flat. Circular dies usually have either two or three circular dies arranged such that there is a space between the dies to allow the bar to pass therethrough.
- This thread rolling process is known as “through rolling”, since the thread form is progressively formed as the bar passes through or across the dies themselves. If the thread rolling process utilises flat dies, such these are usually used in pairs with each die typically being of the order of 150mm wide, and being spaced apart to allow the bar to pass through the gap existing therebetween. The flat dies press into the bar over the whole width of the die. This process is known as “plunge rolling”. Plunge rolling is a faster process than through rolling. However, both plunge rolling and through rolling are collectively known as “Cold Rolling of Threads”.
- Cold rolling of threads necessitates the displacement and flow of metal. Some metal is displaced away from the points of the dies, and some metal is displaced upwards to form the new high points of the thread on the bar. This cold rolling and displacement of metal causes the metal in the thread to become harder. Hence, cold rolled threads are normally stronger than machined threads. This process of the steel or the like material becoming harder is known as "Cold Working".
- An M24 thread has a pitch of 3mm. That is, one revolution around the thread causes axial movement along the axis of the bar of 3mm.
- the pitch of the thread determines its mechanical advantage and the angle that the threads form with the longitudinal axis of the bar.
- a 3mm thread pitch provides excellent mechanical advantage for rock bolts and a tensile load of between 2 and 10 tonnes can be generated in such rock bolts, depending on the torque applied by the drilling machine being employed.
- a very fine thread provides even greater mechanical advantage, but is more susceptible to thread damage. This is especially the case for rock bolts and concrete tie rods, which are used in rugged environments. Conversely, coarse threads are less susceptible to damage but provide poor mechanical advantage.
- Threads can also be formed on bars using what is known as a hot rolling process. As a bar is being formed in a hot rolling mill, synchronised rolls can be used to press a thread form into opposite sides of a bar. The ribs which are so formed protrude from the bar and typically form a discontinuous thread around and along the bar.
- hot rolled threads are usually very coarse.
- hot rolled threads would typically have a 10mm or greater pitch dependent upon bar diameter.
- the main reason for having a coarse hot rolled thread is that, although a fine thread form could be machined into the rolls used in a hot rolling mill, such a fine thread form would wear out very quickly.
- the fine machining and sharp points required in a roll to form a fine thread would wear or break as the hot bar passes through the rolls at the speeds normally employed, which may be up to, for example, 10 metres per second.
- the thread ribs also tend to be wide and have a "flat" crest to the thread form typically 1 mm wide or greater.
- This coarse thread on hot rolled threads has the advantage of making the thread very robust and less susceptible to damage, but on the other hand provides poor mechanical advantage and makes it difficult to apply high tensile loads in-bars and bolts thus formed.
- hot rolled threaded bars which have diameters of 26.5mm, 32mm and 36mm, respectively, have pitches of 13 mm, 16mm and 18mm, respectively.
- a hot rolling process involves passing a billet of hot steel through a series of rolling stands to progressively reduce the size of the billet down to the desired diameter for of the final product.
- billets may be from 90mm x 90mm up to 150mm x 150mm and up to 12m long, which are heated up to approximately from 900 to 1100°C and are then passed through a series of rolls (normally between 10 and 20 pairs of rolls) to progressively reduce the diameter of the billet.
- a series of rolls normally between 10 and 20 pairs of rolls
- a billet would enter the first rolling stand at a slow speed of, for example say, 0.5 metres per second and, by the time it has passed through the last rolling stand, it could be travelling at, for example say, 10 metres per second.
- Such a hot rolling procedure is a very fast and efficient method of manufacture for a wide range of bars and sections.
- the hot rolled thread is formed on the bar in the last rolling stand.
- Ribs are machined into the rolls as "grooves" in the rolls such that, as the bar is squeezed by the rolls, a male rib would be formed on the bar.
- Multiple grooves are machined into the top and bottom rolls and each roll is synchronised with the other of each mating pair, such that a thread form is produced on the hot rolled bar.
- these grooves are spaced and angled to the axis of the bar, such that they form a coarse pitched threaded bar.
- the process of the present invention seeks to provide a hot rolled threaded member having a relatively fine-pitched thread.
- the present invention can produce a bar that is simply cut to length and then only a suitable nut and domed ball needs to be attached to the bar to produce a finished rock bolt. No additional post-rolling manufacturing is required.
- An additional significant advantage of the process of the present invention is that it allows multiple hot rolled threaded bars to be joined together, using one or many couplers, depending upon the number of bars to be joined together.
- the ends of two threaded bars may be screwed into each end of a female threaded coupler.
- the coupler is of sufficient length to engage enough threads on the bar, and is designed to be stronger in tension than the tensile strength of the bar such that, when two bars are each screwed firmly into the coupler, the coupled joint of the two bars is stronger than the solid bar itself.
- cables are made from much higher tensile strength steel than solid bolts (typically 1500MPa for cables compared to 800MPa for solid bolts for their respective ultimate tensile strengths) and this enables cables to be produced with both high tensile strength (typically 50 to 75 tonnes for mining applications) and reasonable weight (typically less than 5 kgs per metre).
- coupled solid bolts can compete with long cables bolts but, to obtain the same high tensile strength as cables, it is necessary to use a larger diameter solid bar. This means that a different and larger diameter solid bar must be produced to be used as a coupled bolt to compete with cables. This requires an additional product to be made by the steel mill to make a large diameter bar for coupled bolt applications only and this will not be as common as smaller diameter solid bars used for general rock bolting applications.
- the weight of a larger diameter solid bar for a coupled bolt is not usually a problem, since drilling machines can easily push multiple solid coupled bars up a hole.
- the fact that solid coupled bars can be pushed is a major advantage and drilling machines can easily push them up holes and through multiple resin cartridges, which is more difficult to do with a flexible cable or cable bolt.
- solid coupled bars are produced with a hot rolled ribbed external profile and this can provide a high bond strength with resin or grout.
- This is known as a rock bolt's load transfer capacity and the higher the load transfer capacity, the more effectively the rock bolt will support the tunnel or mine roadway. Cables cannot provide such a high load transfer capacity as hot rolled ribbed bars or bolts.
- the top of the coupled bolts at the top of the hole is anchored either by resin or by a mechanical anchor and the rest of the coupled bolts can be grouted either with cement, resin or a polyurethane resin (PUR).
- the grout is normally pumped up from the bottom collar of the hole and flows up around the bolts and around the couplers.
- a grout tube can be used where the grout is pumped up the tube to the top of the hole and fills up the cavity between the bolt and the hole with grout.
- Couplers therefore, have the following disadvantages. They require the use of larger diameter bar than standard rock bolts in order to generate similar tensile capacity as cables. They also require the use of couplers, where there must be sufficient clearance between the outside of the coupler and the borehole wall to allow grout and or a grout tube to pass around the coupler.
- the new thread form of the present invention further allows a new coupled rock bolt or coupled bar to be used in a manner as described hereinafter in more detail.
- couplers and assembled bars described can be used when any threaded bar according to the present invention is joined to another bar, for example in concrete reinforcing bars, foundation tie down bolts, formwork tie bars and small diameter flexible bars making up a larger assembled bolt.
- the present invention is not so limited.
- the spacing apart of the ribs along the length of the elongate member is at least two thread pitches and less than five thread pitches.
- the pitch of the thread is close to the width of the base of the rib. More preferably, the base of the rib has a small radius where it joins the core of the bar. Preferably, the sides of the rib extending away from the core of the elongate member are inclined at an angle of approximately 60 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the core.
- the metal used to form a hot rolled threaded elongate member in accordance with the present invention is designed to provide maximum strength and elongation characteristics.
- hot rolled threaded elongate members can be made from high tensile steel.
- Such high tensile steel bars may be unsuitable for cold thread rolling, because cold working of the bar may cause excessive embrittlement and cracking at the root of the threads formed therein.
- high tensile steel bars may have undergone a quenching process to increase strength and surface hardness. Steel bars that have been so quenched are often unsuitable for cold thread rolling.
- bar peeling and cold thread rolling are not required for hot roll threaded bars, the tensile strength and surface hardness of the bar are not limiting factors.
- the rib profiles are designed to provide maximum load transfer capacity when encapsulated in grout or resin.
- Bar rib profiles designed to provide maximum load transfer capacity require large ribs, spaced at approximately twice the rib width along the bar, and angled at an acute angle across the bar. This is not currently the case with most hot rolled bars used in the manufacture of rock bolts.
- the_rib profiles are designed to provide a thread form which is suited to have a nut or the like member having at least one groove adapted to be easily screwed onto it. Since hot rolled threads are more susceptible to slight variations in pitch and rib height than cold rolled threads, the thread form and rib design used in the present invention are able to accommodate these slight variations.
- the rib profiles are designed to provide a thread form which enables a nut or the like member of minimum length to be used to generate adequate tensile capacity in the elongate member.
- the ribs on the elongate member may be spaced at 10mm apart and the at least one groove in the nut or like member may be spaced apart from at least one other groove by 5mm.
- two or more elongate members with a thread form in accordance with of the present invention can be assembled together such that their long axes are parallel and are aligned such that the outer ribs on the assembled bars form discontinuous segments of a thread spiral or helix about a cylinder enclosing the assembled elongate members.
- the hot rolled threaded elongate member profile is made from steel.
- the hot rolled threaded elongate member profile is used on rock bolts, coupled bolts and concrete formwork tie rods.
- the hot rolled threaded elongate member profile is used on both solid elongate members and on hollow elongate members.
- the invention also relates to a threaded member when produced by the aforementioned process of the present invention.
- an elongate member including a thread form therein and extending along at least part of the length dimension thereof, wherein said thread form includes at least one rib spaced apart from at least one other, rib along said elongate member, wherein said thread form has a relatively coarse rib spacing but a fine thread pitch.
- the hot rolled threaded elongate member (1) in accordance with the present invention includes a generally round core section (2) with a series of ribs (3) extending away from the core section (2).
- the ribs (3) are formed from the same material as the core section (2).
- the core section (2) may be a hollow core (5), as shown in Figures 3,4, 10 and 13, or a solid core (6) as shown in Figures 5 and 7.
- the ribs (3) form discontinuous segments of a continuous thread form (4), and are located around the circumference of the core section (2).
- the ribs (3) are located on opposite sides of the core section (2).
- the ribs (3) have their maximum height at the centre of each rib and may taper down to a reduced height at the sides of the core section (2) as shown in Figures 4 and 5 or may have a relatively uniform height over most of their length, as shown in Figures 7, 10 and 13.
- the ribs (3) are preferably spaced along the bar (1) in an axial direction at intervals of at least two thread pitches.
- the thread pitch is preferably only slightly greater than the width of the base of the thread.
- the ribs (3) are preferably angled across the core section (2) at the thread pitch.
- the ribs (3) are preferably spaced on opposite sides of the core section (2) with an offset spacing of at least one thread pitch.
- a conventional hot rolled thread is formed by male ribs which extend from the core of the elongate member and these ribs may or may not be discontinuous around the circumference of the elongate member (1).
- These ribs (3) are formed, by rolls, on opposite sides of the elongate member (1) as it passes through a rolling stand in a rolling mill.
- a rib is formed at every thread pitch on each side of the elongate member (1).
- Figure 1 shows ribs (3) directly opposite each other on opposed sides of the elongate member (1). It must be realised, however, that the present invention is not to be considered to be limited to such a thread form or configuration and the rib segments could be located at any position on the elongate member (1) provided they form part of the thread profile, as shown in Figures 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14 and 19.
- ribs (3) may be offset along opposed sides of the elongate member (1) such that a rib (3) on one side of the elongate member (1) is directly opposite to a gap (4) on the other side of the elongate member (1).
- Such a preferred embodiment ensures that a maximum number of ribs may be engaged by a nut or the like member which is screwed onto such a hot rolled thread form.
- a hot rolled rib may typically be 5mm wide at its base and 2.5mm wide at its crest and be spaced every 15mm along the elongate member. That is, the pitch of such a conventionally threaded elongate member will be 15mm.
- the ribs are angled across the elongate member such they will align with the ribs on the opposite side of the elongate member so that the ribs form segments of a substantially continuous spiral or thread. These ribs may or may not be continuous around the circumference of the elongate member.
- Conventional threaded elongate members, and in particular hot rolled threaded elongate members always have aligned ribs on opposite sides of the elongate member spaced at every thread pitch.
- the present invention in an especially preferred embodiment provides for a hot rolled elongate member which does not have ribs spaced at every thread pitch along a elongate member.
- the base of the rib is approximately 4mm wide, then the rib is angled across the elongate member such that the thread pitch is slightly greater than this, for example, 5mm.
- the spacing of the ribs along the elongate member is some multiple of the thread pitch.
- the spacing of the ribs along the elongate member may therefore be 10mm, 15mm, 20mm etc.
- the ribs therefore form discontinuous segments of a continuous thread profile.
- the present invention allows for two or more bars or elongate members in accordance with the invention to be placed together such that their longitudinal axes are parallel. If the two bars are then aligned correctly in their axial direction, it is possible to form a thread spiral or helix around the cylinder that encloses the two bars.
- the ribs on the individual bars form discontinuous segments that fit within that thread spiral or helix. It is therefore possible to screw a nut or a coupler around the outside of the two assembled bars.
- the thread helix therefore advances axially 3mm in a distance of 69.1 mm and has an angle of inclination or lead angle of approximately 2.48 degrees.
- the pitch diameter of a circle describing the two bars is now approximately 45.5mm. Therefore, the circumferential distance around the pitch diameter of the two bars together is 142.9mm. Since the rib spacing is still the same at 3mm, then the angle of inclination of the thread is 1.20 degrees which is almost exactly half the angle of inclination of a thread on a single bar with an M24 thread. If the angle of inclination of a thread in a nut with a pitch diameter of 45.5mm is adjusted to be equal to the angle of inclination of an M24 thread, i.e. 2.48 degrees, then the rib spacing of the thread in the nut increases to approximately 6mm.
- an individual threaded bar with the thread form of the present invention on it, can be assembled together with another identical bar. It is possible to assemble these two bars together with their longitudinal axes parallel. Where the two assembled bars contact each other, the ribs on each bar interlock with each other, and their relative axial position can be adjusted slightly such that the ribs on the outside of the two bars that are not interlocked with each other, form discontinuous segments of a thread spiral or helix.
- the individual threaded bar with the new thread form of the present invention has a nominal diameter of 20mm and with a rib spacing of 10mm with a pitch of 5mm, the circumference of the thread is approximately 62.8mm, and the angle of inclination of the thread is approximately 4.55 degrees, i.e. a 5mm axial movement in a distance of 62.8mm.
- the larger assembled bar When two bars are assembled together, the larger assembled bar will have a nominal diameter of 40mm. The circumference of a circle describing the larger assembled bar will be 125.7mm. Therefore, in order to keep the angle of inclination of the thread the same on the larger assembled bar as on the smaller individual bars, i.e. 4.55 degrees, then the rib spacing must be 10mm. However, the rib spacing on the smaller individual bars is 10mm, not 5mm.
- two individual bars assembled together will form a thread spiral or helix on their outside surface provided that the rib spacing is twice the pitch.
- the larger assembled bar could be made up from two or more individual smaller bars provided an external cylinder enclosing the assembled bars has a nominal diameter which is the same multiple of the diameter of individual bars as the multiple of the rib spacing to the thread pitch on the individual bars.
- a nominal 60mm diameter assembled bar could be made up of any number of smaller 20mm diameter bars providing that they still fit within a nominal 60mm diameter cylinder enclosing the smaller bars.
- nominal or approximate measurements and angles are to allow for rib heights, thread clearances and variations in rolling and machining tolerances.
- a very high capacity assembled and coupled rock bolt can be made using a bar that would be normally be used for single rock bolts, thus eliminating the requirement to roll a large diameter solid bar to obtain high capacity.
- the individual bars can have their threads aligned in a jig in the factory and then be tack-welded together at their ends to simply form a larger assembled bar. Nuts and couplers can then be screwed onto them as required in the field. For example, if the tensile capacity of an individual bar is 30 tonnes, then two assembled bars would provide a tensile capacity of 60 tonnes and three assembled bars would provide a tensile capacity of 90 tonnes.
- the assembled solid bars would interlock where they contact each other. Also, since the "groove" spacing in the female thread in the nut or coupler is still twice the pitch, the length of the nut or coupler required is less than would be required with a conventional thread.
- one of the smaller bars can be a tube or pipe to assist in pumping grout up the hole.
- grout can not only be pumped through the couplers and nuts, thus reducing the hole diameter that would otherwise be required, but it will also firmly lock the bars in the couplers and nuts when it has cured.
- the assembled bar is made up of individual bars with a threaded profile, the load transfer capacity of the assembled bar will be higher than can be achieved with a cable bolt.

Abstract
Description
- the thread is not affected by cold working;
- the tensile strength and elongation characteristics of the bar are uniform all the way along the bar, unlike cold rolled threaded bars where the root diameter of the threaded section is the weakest part of the bar;
- the bar and the thread are less susceptible to damage because the thread itself is coarse;
- the thread ribs are an integral part of the bar and are less likely to be affected by cracking occurring at the base of the ribs;
- threads can be formed in materials, particularly high tensile strength steels, that would be unsuitable for thread cold rolling;
- the process of the hot rolling of threads is very fast and economical and does not require a secondary processing operation, unlike cold thread rolling procedures which require bar peeling or swaging in addition to cold thread rolling.
